On affine scaling inexact dogleg methods for bound-constrained nonlinear systems

A class of trust-region methods for large scale bound-constrained systems of nonlinear equations is presented. The methods in this class follow the so called affine-scaling approach and can efficiently handle large scale problems. At each iteration, a suitably scaled region around the current approximate solution is defined and, within such a region, the norm of … Read more

Constrained Dogleg Methods for nonlinear systems with simple bounds

We focus on the numerical solution of medium scale bound-constrained systems of nonlinear equations. In this context, we consider an affine-scaling trust region approach that allows a great flexibility in choosing the scaling matrix used to handle the bounds. The method is based on a dogleg procedure tailored for constrained problems and so, it is … Read more

An interior Newton-like method for nonnegative least-squares problems with degenerate solution

An interior point approach for medium and large nonnegative linear least-squares problems is proposed. Global and locally quadratic convergence is shown even if a degenerate solution is approached. Viable approaches for implementation are discussed and numerical results are provided. Citation Technical Report 1/2005, Dipartimento di Energetica ‘S.
